← ScienceWhich consequence results when radio waves experience Faraday rotation?
A)Signal experiences polarization direction shift✓
B)Loss of coherence reduces signal strength
C)Increased attenuation decreases signal range
D)Beam narrowing enhances receiver sensitivity
💡 Explanation
Faraday rotation causes the polarization plane of radio waves to rotate when they propagate through a magnetic field because there is a difference in the refractive index for left and right circularly polarized waves. Therefore, the signal's polarization direction shifts rather than experiencing attenuation.
